Hibbing, Minn., paper features my latest title

The Hibbing (Minn.) Daily Tribune ran a feature article today about my latest book, Headin' to the Cabin: Day Hiking Trails of Northeast Minnesota. The book describes more than 200 trails in Minnesota’s Chisago, Pine, Carlton, St. Louis, Lake and Cook counties. Aside from the 20 or so trails in the Hibbing-Chisholm area, the book also features a similar number of trails in or near neighboring Virginia, Eveleth, Ely, Tower and Soudan. The article is available online.

My name is Rob Bignell. I'm a long-time hiker, journalist and editor. My son Kieran and I have been hiking together for the past decade. Before Kieran, I taught middle school students in New Mexico and Wisconsin, served as an infantryman in the Army National Guard, and worked in newspapers. I've won several journalism awards, from editorial writing to sports reporting. In 2001, The Prescott Journal, which I served as managing editor of, was named Wisconsin’s Weekly Newspaper of the Year. Currently I own and operate an online editing business, Inventing Reality Editing Service. After spending several years in Southern California, my son and I now live in Wisconsin on the scenic Red Cedar River.
